Loughborough College is a large General Further Education college with a high reputation for academic excellence. The College has excellent provisions, including a Sixth Form Centre, outstanding Apprenticeships and Higher Education courses that have achieved a TEF Gold Award. We enjoy strong relationships with the Loughborough University, the many employers that we work with, our talented staff and benefit from superb academic and vocational facilities. The Corporation Board is committed to Loughborough College working towards becoming an Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ college, enabled by robust finances. We seek to appoint a leader with the vision and know-how to deliver on both strategic objectives.
We welcome applications from current or aspiring Principals and from ambitious leaders in FE or other sectors, but you must demonstrate the confidence, knowledge, ambition and enthusiasm to hit the ground running and with the existing leadership team continue to move the college forward.
It is not essential for you to come directly from an academic leadership pathway but you will be able to demonstrate what excellent teaching, learning and assessment looks like.
No matter what your previous experience, it must include a strong commercial acumen – whilst we continue to grow there are many demands on our resources so we live in a culture of getting best value for money, taking sound commercial decisions and being imaginative and creative with the money that we have.
As well as the experience you bring, team fit will be essential, and in return we offer you the chance to work with an ambitious and committed Board of Governors and lead one of the region’s largest colleges, joining us on our journey from ‘Good to Outstanding’.
